Sapphire Plug-ins for Autodesk: WarpPuddle

WarpPuddle

In the S_Warps Plugin.

Warps the source clip by a pattern of concentric waves. The Phase Speed
parameter causes the waves to automatically move outwards from the center
over time. Adjust the Inner and Outer Radius parameters to limit the area
where the waves appear. Increase the Inner and Outer softness for smoother
transitions between where the waves appear and do not appear.

Inputs:

Source:
The input clip to be warped.

Parameters:

Load Preset:
Push-button
.
Brings up the Preset Browser to browse all available presets for this effect.

Save Preset:
Push-button
.
Brings up the Preset Save dialog to save a preset for this effect.

Center:
X & Y, Default:
[0 0],
Range:
any.
The center of the puddle, in screen coordinates relative
to the center of the frame. This parameter can be adjusted using the Center Widget.

Frequency:
Default:
10,
Range:
0.01 or greater.
The frequency of the waves. Increase for more
waves, decrease for fewer. This parameter can be adjusted using the Frequency Widget.

Rotate Puddle:
Default:
0,
Range:
any.
Rotates the puddle pattern by this many
counter-clockwise degrees after the Rel Height stretching has been
applied. This has no effect when Rel Height is 1. This parameter can be adjusted using the Rotate Widget.

Inner Radius:
Default:
0,
Range:
any.
The distance from the puddle center where the wave
distortion is phased in. No waves are generated inside this
radius. This parameter can be adjusted using the Inner Radius Widget.

Inner Softness:
Default:
0.1,
Range:
0.01 or greater.
The width of the region at the Inner Radius over
which the wave distortion is phased in.

Outer Radius:
Default:
1.5,
Range:
0 or greater.
The distance from the puddle center where the wave
distortion is phased out. No waves are generated outside this
radius. This parameter can be adjusted using the Outer Radius Widget.

Outer Softness:
Default:
0.4,
Range:
0.01 or greater.
The width of the region at the Outer Radius over
which the wave distortion is phased out.

Z Dist:
Default:
1,
Range:
0.01 or greater.
Scales the 'distance' of the image. Values greater than 1.0
move it farther away and make it smaller. Values less than 1.0 move
the image closer and enlarge it. Zooming in slightly can sometimes be
used to hide edge artifacts.

Filter:
Check-box, Default:
on.
If enabled, the image is adaptively filtered when it is
resampled. This gives a better quality result when parts of the image
are warped smaller.

Phase Start:
Default:
0,
Range:
any.
The phase shift of the waves.

Phase Speed:
Default:
1,
Range:
any.
The speed of the waves. If this is positive the
waves automatically travel outwards from the center at this rate.

Params2:

Params3:

Blur Mocha:
Default:
0,
Range:
0 or greater,
Shared
.
Blurs the Mocha Mask by this amount before using.
This can be used to soften the edges or quantization artifacts of
the mask, and smooth out the time displacements.
